Is the Nikon Z6 Still Good in 2024

In this video, we're looking at the Nikon Z6 mirrorless camera 5 years after its initial release. Nikon has since released the Z6ii, not to mention the Z7ii, z8, z9, z5, zfc.... and the list goes on.

My Z6 was great in 2019, so it’s great in 2023.

Just bought a used Z6 around November last year. A huge upgrade from my much older Nikon D5200. Really needed something with better low light and video capability. It came with the FTZ adapter, so I get to use my AF-S 70 - 300 f4.5-5.6 and a 50mm f1.8. The full frame sensor is great for live band work and totally out-classes the D5200...as you'd expect! It just feels more "professional" too and has inspired me to up my game behind the camera. Well worthwhile in 2024!

I still use my Z6 for professional work and it holds up great. There isn’t anything that I haven’t done on it. Events, portraits, sports, nightlife, video, b-roll, movie poster printing you name it. I know all its shortcomings and how to counter them. AF sucks if you don’t know how to handle it but I don’t care. I know that when it’s time to deliver I can be proud with the results and the image quality is amazing.

Just purchased my Z6ii in December'2023 - it is great camera for me so far. The main reason I purchased this was for the ability to use Snapbridge and geo-tagging which my D610 didn't have.

The Nikon Z6 II is the only camera I use now. As an amateur, it fills all the niches for me and although there are newer versions like the Z7, 8.9 etc. this little baby always performs.👍

This gave me pause, thank you. I was thinking of the Z6ii as a back up camera but now I'm convinced that the Z6 will do just fine!

Very much so. I may now also have a Z8 but the Z6 remains my go to for street, travel and low light, hope to get out with it tomorrow if we can have a day without rain for once!

Hi! Nice review! I'm thinking to upgrade from Nikon D5600 to Nikon Z6. Do you think it is worth to do? Thanks 👍

[shahidtanvir]

As a beginner to photography, I will buy this camera. Will it be fully updated version new one? Thanks,

[Leon-dtuo]

Hiya,
Brilliant video thanks!
One question; how good is the tracking/continuous AF for fast moving erratic subjects, can it keep up with the action?
... specifically kids & dogs running around crazy by the way!
All the very best

[MM-fljg]

Thank you for the great review! I currently have Nikon D5100 and I'm due for an upgrade! Will be travelling this year and was thinking of buying the Nikon Z6 or should I upgrade to an even newer model?

The shots with the cotton candy model
are so authentic and maybe that shows
The small sized body brings out the best

I bought my Z6 in 2019, and I love it. Considering today against the Z6ll and the competition, it’s still a great value, especially considering how much you can save now buying an excellent condition model used. Except for the most demanding still photo applications (action, sports, wildlife) the Z6 provides plenty of punch for photographers and still performs well for hybrid applications.

I actually just got a Z6 as a backup for my Z9. It does what I need it to at a steal of a deal. The AF is no where near the Z9 performance but still works very well in most use cases for portrait work.

[patrickmcmahon]

Great review! I bought my Z6 about the same time as you did for a fun camera. I had a Nikon D850 as my work camera for portraits and headshots, but I found out that I began taking my Z6 to some shoots for ease of use and the fantastic photos I would get. I ended up trading my D850 and all my f mount lenses for a Z9 and new Z lenses at the beginning of this year. But like before, other than having Z lenses, I have found I still take my Z6 for some work. It is a fantastic camera!

[eppietimisela]

Will the Z6 a huge upgrade over my Z50 or even my trusty original Panny boy G9?

[josephhuang]

Excellent review! Thanks! I was wondering how well does your 50mm f1.4G work for video on your Z6? Does it track and autofocus decently?
